Broccoli & Grape Salad!! This is a refreshing salad that will be great for all of your summer BBQ’s! I recently made it for my Kentucky Derby Party and it was a delicious hit! Below is the recipe I got from my mama, but there are SO many variations of this on pinterest, like this one. Some add celery, some add onion, but all are the same basic idea.
You’ll need:
1 bunch broccoli florets
2 cups seedless red grapes halved
1 cup slivered almonds
1/2 lb bacon fried crisp and crumbled
3/4 cup sunflower seeds
Optional: 1 cup of raisins
Dressing:
1 cup mayo
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon white vinegar
How to make:
Once you’ve got everything prepped, it’s just 4 easy steps!
1. Mix dressing in a small bowl
2. Mix all other ingredients, except grapes in a large bowl
3. Add dressing and mix
4. Gently fold in grapes
Seriously. It’s that easy. You spend more time halving the grapes than anything else.
Make ahead!
You can made it a day ahead of time too. I don’t mix anything, but just cut up my broccoli and grapes and put in the fridge in separate containers. I also mix up my dressing too. The next day all I have to do is put it all into my serving bowl with the bacon and nuts. Easy Peasy!!

I’ve had this salad made with raisins instead of grapes. It was very good but this sounds better!

I am not a fan of raisins at all. But I can see how they would work. But this is such a yummy treat!
